A Regular Guys Recipe

Cut fish filets into 1 inch cubes.  Heat chicken broth to boiling.  Reduce heat and add fish cubes.  Cook 3 to 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.  Remove fish and drain well.  Put the fish in a glass bowl (never metal) and pour cold lime juice over the fish.  Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Combine celery, onion, peppers, parsley, chili sauce, horseradish and tabasco.  Mix well and set aside.

Drain the fish.  Add fish cubes and diced avacado to sauce mixture and mix gently.  Serve on shredded lettuce and garnish with parsley sprigs and lime slices.  May be prepared ahead and regrigerated.  Makes 6 appetizers.
